The component parts of good quality office chairs will out live fabrics and foams. We can help increase the life of your office furniture in the following ways:

• Replace worn seat foams
• Repair/replace faulty components such as castors
• Full clean & service of component parts
• Reupholster using sustainable office seating fabrics

The majority of our office seating is reupholstered in Camira fabrics. In 2015 Camira were recognised for outstanding achievements in continuous environmental improvement and best in class performance with their second successive Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development. Camira are pioneering a sustainable textile industry through environmental product design, supply chain integrity, resource efficiency, people development and CSR.

We were delighted to transform this curved banquette seat for New Bucks University’s Student Union Bar.  After taking measurements onsite our skilled upholsterers set to work creating new padded foam seats and fluted backs.  We upholstered the banquette in Camira Vita faux leather, a practical and hygenic choice for bar use.  Vita is a leather-look vinyl, with a subtle surface grain effect and full matt appearance, it provides maximum protection for heavy duty end-use areas.

Vita does not contain phthalate plasticisers or heavy metals, yet remains soft, stretchy and pliable. It benefits from a modified durable top coat, which offers improved resistance to alcohol cleaners and excellent wearability.
